Fabbro scored a goal on two shots, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

Fabbro has four points over 12 contests in January. His tally Saturday put the Blue Jackets ahead 2-1 in the third period, and while they didn't hold that lead, they still won in the end. The 26-year-old blueliner is up to 12 points, 49 shots on net, 41 hits, 95 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 40 games between Columbus and Nashville this season. Fabbro's strong play since he was plucked off waivers could give him a chance at the second 20-point campaign of his career.

Bahl (undisclosed) won't play Sunday against Winnipeg.

Bahl departed Saturday's game after taking a hard hit in the second period and will ultimately miss at least one subsequent game. Joel Hanley and Jake Bean figure to round out Calgary's blue line in Bahl's absence.

Werenski scored a goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

Werenski has earned a point in three straight games and has a total of five goals and nine assists over 12 outings in January. The defenseman is up to 16 goals, 38 assists, 189 shots on net, 89 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 50 appearances. Werenski is within three points of matching his career-best mark from last season, and he also needs four more goals to match his high mark from 2019-20.

Carrier scored a goal on two shots and blocked six shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

Carrier has six points and a plus-7 rating over his last 10 contests. The 28-year-old defenseman got his first goal of the campaign at 3:34 of the third period, tying the game at 3-3 and ultimately forcing overtime. The blueliner is up to 17 points, 47 shots on net, 46 hits, 83 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 46 appearances between the Canadiens and the Predators. He's been a natural fit in Montreal's top four and is playing well enough to be a depth option in fantasy.

Dillon notched an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Dillon ended a 12-game point drought when he assisted on Jesper Bratt's first-period tally. Offense remains limited for Dillon, who has 12 points, 121 hits, 74 blocked shots, 56 PIM and 27 shots on net over 51 appearances this season. The physicality is his main form of production, but that limits his appeal to fantasy formats that count hits and blocks.

Hamilton logged two assists, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Hamilton logged a multi-point effort for the second game in a row. He's played well for over a month, earning two goals and 10 assists across his last 16 contests despite averaging a fairly modest 19:07 of ice time in that span. The defenseman is up to 33 points, 144 shots on net, 56 hits, 71 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 51 appearances. The Devils' defense is deep and balanced, so Hamilton should have no trouble maintaining decent offense even with a drop in ice time.

Rutta (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.

The Sharks recalled Jack Thompson from AHL San Jose in a corresponding move. Rutta missed Saturday's 7-2 loss to Florida and will sit out at least two more games after surfacing on the IR list. He has registered two goals, eight points, 51 shots on net, 76 blocked shots and 37 hits across 51 appearances this season.

Thompson was recalled from AHL San Jose on Sunday.

With Jan Rutta (lower body) landing on IR, Thompson will either serve as the seventh defenseman or slot onto the Sharks' third pairing Monday against Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old defenseman appeared in 14 NHL games earlier this season, logging two goals and five points.

Sergachev (upper body) won't play against Ottawa on Sunday, per Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune.

Sergachev will miss his fifth straight game. He has produced eight goals, 30 points, 72 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and 23 hits through 44 appearances this season. Nick DeSimone has been playing due to Sergachev's absence.

Dobson (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, per PuckPedia.

The Islanders utilized the cap space to add Tony DeAngelo to the active roster. Dobson is week-to-week and won't be eligible to play before the 4 Nations Face-Off after moving to the LTIR list. He has registered six goals, 24 points, 143 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and 42 hits in 46 appearances this season. DeAngelo played alongside Alexander Romanov and replaced Dobson on the top power-play combination in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Carolina.
